No, far less for me.

2000-2019: unwell (flu, cold) 2-3 times a year. 2020-2022: not unwell a single time, 36 months counting now.

Context: I now travel on public transport once a month vs 20 times a month. I work from home and not a busy office with meeting rooms. I socialise less. I exercise less (I walk less per day). I eat about the same quality. I sleep more. I get less sunlight. I'm happier.

My view: it's all down to much reduced exposure to the poor hygiene that the public practice. Whether or not there is "more of it about", I'm only exposed 5-10% as much as I previously was.
